Let's Learn English! Topic: Happy Things 🎁😎

In this English lesson I'll help you learn about all the things in life that make people happy. It is January in Canada and the days are short and we're not allowed to go out right now so I thought it would be a great time to do an English lesson about all the things in life that bring a smile to your face.

I'll help you learn English words and phrases to talk about puppies and sunshine, rainbows and gifts. I'll make sure to teach more than just words. I'll also include lots of example sentences during the class as well.

I hope this English lesson helps you learn a bit more English, and also helps you smile!

Have a great day!

⌛ Remember: Always watch the video two times. Twice today with English subtitles off, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles on. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

[Rose-eofw]

Hi Teacher Bob, thank you for your amazing English lessons and all that positivity you spread!

[votrunghieu]

People tend to believe that they can only achieve happiness in life by following their “dreams”, doing things they really love to do and ignoring any other factors. In fact, happiness is not something you can measure and evaluate. Happiness is fluid, flexible and it differs from people to people. Happiness is unlike a goal which has concrete meaning and limit. A goal you set can be clearly seen by other people. However, happiness is something only you can define by yourself. It is not a goal to achieve, rather it is a feeling you have. The fluffy and little pleasure you have in your life is what make you happy. A dream, in the other hand, is more complex and goal-like. You dream to be a successful business man or a celebrity singer. You have goals which are long-term and enormous. However, in most cases, you just dream to be someone else rather than being that person in reality. This is what we call fantasy dream. To put it simple, that is an illusion you create to escape from your boring and depressing daily routine. It has relation with having the happiness you really want. The happiness you need is always around you, in your own boring life.Asking yourself this question to discover your true happiness in life: what make you feel content, pleasant and thankful. People blame for their own jobs, hate their devastated state of life they have, but normally forget the small grateful, and serene moments that calm their fluctuating heart. Remember your favorite songs you repeatedly listen to. Remember the warm and cozy dinner your mom has made for you after a long, busy day at work. They can be just small, trivia things in your life but they surely serve you well. What you are waiting for not in the illusion of becoming someone else, but enjoying your life to its utmost.

There are definitely some things from this video that make me happy! I really like combine doing some enjoyable things like watching good movies or hanging out with my friends and eating my food at the same time. Actually, eating delicious food is a pretty enjoyable thing to do)) but I wish I could combine such incompatible things like working out and eating to double joy. Anyways, thanks for the lesson! I finded out a lot of interesting and helpful information about happiness and happy things)
